Jack Ingram - Fisherman lyrics

Old man Crow goes down to the river He's gonna fish himself a full day's work He's been fishing the same old pond nearly all his life He's got his name engraved right there in the dirt He's gonna take his catch down to market He's gonna bring that money back home He's putting bread on the table He's doing his job Old man's buddy comes down to the river He's gonna talk himself a full day's work He's been fishing for the love of the pond nearly all his life He don't mind at all getting down in the dirt His wife calls at the end of the day His child stumbles downtown to play He's gonna sit in the yard for awhile He's feeling no pain The river bed man has seen some changes Going from paddle boats to gasoline He don't mind at all about no dirty water As long the sun comes up and those fish get cleaned
